Been trying to follow how this has been made available, I saw the backports module. But it sounds like if you upgrade the kernel it breaks the driver and you have to reinstall it again. Has this been added to the Kernel for Ubuntu 12.04 or will it be added to the next kernel update?
12.04 is our new standard for our development team and I've got 5 new computers that I'm deploying that have the AR8161 in them and it would be awesome if I could just pop in a live CD for 12.04 and the ethernet card would work instead of having to set it up via wireless and then installing the driver by hand (our developers need more power, hence the new machines). Would also be very helpful with a clonezilla image server for creating images of new windows machines that have these cards since we've got a couple of desktops and laptops that we can't make images of and that's the NIC they are being shipped with. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/927782 Title: include the Atheros AR8131/AR8151/AR8152/AR8161/AR8162 Ethernet driver To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/927782/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
